I'm too old for this!

Monday, April 21, 2014

Or maybe I'm just too fat for this, lol! Tonight was the first softball game for the team I'm on at work. OMG...am I gonna be sore or what? I have not picked up a glove or bat in 30 years, but I played a double header tonight. All things considered I didn't do too bad. Played 2nd base and stopped a couple of grounders, though I didn't make the throw in time to get the out. Missed a few fielding opportunities by being an old slow fart. BUT...I didn't strike out! That's a plus.

Hopefully I'll get better as the weeks go by. I used to be pretty good, but that was a looong time ago! It would help if I could drop about 30 lbs. Maybe this will help in that endeavor?I can only hope.

Well, gotta go hit the sack so I can get at least 6 hours sleep tonight. Hope I can get out of bed in the morning!

Just what you need, a game to play. Sounds like you have a strong softball background. I used to play on teams over the years. We'd start out not great, then get better and better but I would just get slightly better. By the end of the season I would be just one step above mascot :-). Sigh. But it was a LOT of fun.
